I suppose it's too much to hope for, but I'm a bit disappointed that this was just a list on a website and not an actual formal awards show. I'm picturing it now, journalists and pundits walking the red carpet, dressing in gowns and tuxes. They have presenters read the names and categories, and we cut to the nominees sitting in the theatre, crossing their fingers, hoping they win in their category. And when they do, they cheer and hug their spouses, then go up and make the obligatory award speeches where they thank everyone they've ever interacted with. The speeches will likely be all, "I'd like to think my sense of ethics for insisting that I report on the news, even if Our God-Emperor Donald deems it inaccurate. I will also like to think Fox News for continually fellating his ego (literally and figuratively), lest the Great and Mighty Trump question his actions. And let us thank Twitter for serving as the Mount Sinai from which Donald Trump may proclaimeth his mighty and infalliable wisdom."

I haven't decided what they'd do if the award-winners talk to long, whether the orchestra will start playing or what, but there will be snazzy dance numbers that emulate the spirit of the Fake News in question. So there will be a number with a dancing Japanese Prime Minister and POTUS surrounded by people in koi costumes.

I remain somewhat disappointed by the announcement. I know it was too much to hope for a formal ceremony like I suggested in my original post, but just a list? C'mon, Trump, you could have printed up some certificates?

The nuclear option can't just be invoked. It requires a vote--just a straight majority vote, but I don't think they would have the votes for it. Too many senators actually understand the reasons for having a rule that requires 60 votes in the Senate for legislation to pass. And they know they would be giving up the one power that the minority party has to have some influence on legislation. McConnell is opposed to it. http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/3...t-debate?amp=1
